Unfortnately, there aren't many domestic RJ manufacturers to choose from.

Are there any?

The trial lawyers having done their best to keep the logical manufacturers -- Beech and Cessna -- out of the business...

"....Unfortnately, there aren't many domestic RJ manufacturers to choose from....."

True. Are there any at all? There seems to be a jump between the smallest "major" aircraft (737, DC-9, etc) right into small prop planes made by Beech, etc.

The RJ market is dominated, it seems, by Fokker, Bombardier, a Brazilian outfit, British Aerospace....but no American companies. Wonder why Lear, Beech, etc., don't jump into the market?
